Those fruit and vegetable export companies that request subsidies, Since last May, they have been required to have the certification of “integrated production”.

In this sense, the FEDEX technical working group, held a meeting in La Aldea in order to address the regulations that affect the Canary Islands.

The technicians pointed out Agroaldea that the norm of 2003 of the Government of the Canary Islands presents a series of inconveniences that must be corrected to be on equal terms with other communities and countries.

The complaint is based on the restrictive nature of its application.. And that, according to the technicians, does not match the invitation to be more competitive made by the company itself Department of Agriculture. Especially when the lines point towards organic production.

Surviving means being on equal terms and the restrictions do not help compete with Holland, Muercia or Andalusia, whose regulations are less strict.

The working group will request the Canarian Institute of Agri-Food Quality to modify it, taking into account the difficulties and factors that would reduce competitiveness in a sector in which almost everything is a hindrance..
